What does size zero mean?

Zero means 'nothing.'

Surely then, size zero must mean size nothing.

So how can there be less than nothing?

Apparently there is - it's called size double zero. That doesn't mean more than zero. It means less.

Considering that to be a size zero you have to have the waist size of an 8 year old girl, I don't even want to know the measurements of a double zero.

What I would like to know, and sorry if I sound paranoid, but is someone out there trying to kill us all off?

How many models are going to drop dead before we all say 'Enough'?

How many more millions of females, including increasingly young girls, are going to suffer, at the very least from chronic low self esteem, at most die, literally of starvation, before we say, 'STOP.'

Anger may not always be productive, but this is about a real injustice, and I feel angry. No, the media can't force any of us to believe that we have to be any size or shape, but it would be stupid to suggest that it has no effect on young girls and women.

I'm only 36, and I remember a time when it was normal to be a size 12 and a size 8 was considered skinny.

Now a size 4 - whatever that means - is considered, by the fashion industry, and those who take it seriously, to be fat.

Even more horrifying are the methods employed by models to gain their skeletal bodies - the drugs they are using, and being encouraged to use, in order to keep their weight down.

Even more horrifying than that is that these same drugs are being used to treat children with ADD - attention deficit disorder, even though they have been found to cause hardening of the heart in rats.

No, I didn't believe it either.... you need to read this article about the size zero pill to believe it
